R R R R R L LRyl “—take the slight trouble beforehand \to ses what the market really affords”® T S S @ @ S @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @« The time to be critical ~ is BEFORE you buy! OMEWHAT more than a million persons, in the next few months, will be buying new motor cars. Of this number, a surprising majority will buy virtu- -ally “sight unseen.” They will have read an advertisement here and there, listened to garage gossip and curbstone counsel, perhaps have had what the salesman calls a “demonstration.” Later, some will be happy and satis- fied with their choice—but some will grow critical and wish they had “looked around” a little more. o If you feel that in these times the siza- ble investment required in a motor car deserves more than casual thought, this message is addressed to you. We want you to visit our showrooms, inspect and investigate Hudson and Essex cars in detail, make l! some real comparisons before you decide @ what car to buy. R We promise you that the experience will ||'| be educative and well worth your while; it may even get you more for your money than you otherwise could. If we weren’t pretty confident that nillhsith. our cars have something special to offer, something en- titled to your careful attention, we wouldn’t be buying Hupson rrices L1sT FROM $875 10 $1450 r.0. 5. pETROIT STATE DEALERS Alexandria, Va.— Cawood Motor Co.

The famous Hudson compensated inherently balanced crankshaft is the most accurately balanced crankshaft in use today—so satin- smooth and vibrationless in action that it eliminates the need for cushioning vibration as needed in the case of many other cars this valuable advertising space to tell you about it. Hudson has grown up in the automobile business from "llllmml” K Startix, the Automatio Self-Starter—a new safety feature available at slight extra cost—makes Hudson and Essex motors stall-proof. Should you stall your motor on hills or in traffic, Startix restarts it — instantly and automati- cally. Operated by the ignition lock, Startix starts your motor the going. as Inn’ as the ignition is ‘on averysmallcompanytoaverylargeone. It has been able to do this without mergers or consolidations by steadily keeping a little ahead of the procession. Controlled and administered today by the same group of men which launched the company a quarter cen- tury ago, it is now perhaps the most mobile, manageable and progressive large unit in the industry. It builds superior values in good cars in what is probably the best-equipped plant’ in America —a plant with greater production'capacity per foot of floor space than any other in the business. m’ The time to be critical of a motor caris before youbuy. an unthinking purchase. Take the slig t trouble beforehand ti see what the market rer y affords The Lubricated Cork Cushion Clutch is an ex- clusive patented feature of Hudson and Essex ocars.
